Actually it's just the opposite. The harder you press on them the
less the resistance.

You get a sudden drop in resistance. That can be converted to a
voltage spike, vaguely similar to what a piezo produces. There's a
circuit in the FSR pdf from earlier in the thread (page 23?) that
does that.

P.S. This is my third attempt to post a response to this. Is anyone
else having posting issues?
